what did you get for it, anyway?
99 front bumper with lights
Fender inserts (they where missing)
Undertray
My front sway bar
New wiper arms
Mud guards
Got the 99 wing to install yet also

Once the bumper comes I'll be ready to install all the body parts and get it painted.

I'd like to remove the engine and rebuild with a street port (lower comp rotor heavier flywheel) and remove the cat. Most likely will have to run 850cc in primary injectors. I dont' want to go over 85% duty.

Going for 400rwhp.........

Should be pretty easy now that I have realized I won't ever drive that car daily and can sacrifice noise and smell LOL.

It's ok, if it makes you feed any better, I drove my fb, but it died on me in the middle of the street and I had to push it home.

So, with the fact that it's not particularly working, and I don't feel like looking for a vacuum leak, emissions removal time!

Visiting Davenport for the week, any rotary shops in town to go see? I would like to see the town from a forum members view. I'm in from Kansas and leaving on Thursday. Let me know!

When i sold the car it was running fine. The idle was always a pain but that was b/c i didn't run a bac and you had to know how to tune the idle well.

I think the only thing was a clunk when you shifted or let up on the gas. Most likely diff mount.

Yea, the car doesn't idle that well and has a high idle. The car has a big hesitation when you first step on the gas, thinking it's the injectors. He fixed the diff mount and put in a Mazdaspeed diff mount I believe. He also put in a CD player I think. Can you give me a rundown of what you had in it and what problems it had when you sold it?

Yea, that's true. I'm about an hour away from him too, but if I find some free time I'm sure I could help. What's all left to finish on the FD?

Well, the motor is dropped in, so I need to wire up the wiring harness, install the differential transmission brace, tighen down the engine mounts, finish mounting the front mount intercooler, and add fluids and hopefully she will start up! I have to reinstall the UIM and primary injectors but thats cake walk there!

I dont think there are any suprises left on my car, majority of the hard stuff was completed by my buddy Jeff and I.

Umm FYI, this is my first FD so lots of this is new to me.. I upgraded well switched to non sequential twins, and im trying to make sure everything is correct with that as well..

I have the Apexi PFC and commander unit for my computer, and I have 90% of all the bolt ons I could add.. Im only missing the aluminum radiator and the ignition amp.. everything else was upgraded or new..
